The Université Paris-Dauphine is autonomous in scientific and teaching innovations and now unites teachers, researchers, administrative staff and students (9,000). In February 2004, University was given the status of grand établissement, special status under ministerial charter. In the framework of the new status, they are now dealing with a project, based on selective, vocationally oriented objectives. That contributes towards academic aims: development and valorization, initial training and continuing education.
